NWTF At-A-Glance: Hunting Heritage Super Fund
The Hunting Heritage Super Fund supports the NWTF's conservation and education programs. Established in 1983, the program pools money raised at Hunting Heritage banquets, donated by corporate sponsors, and given to benefit wildlife conservation.
- Since 1985, the NWTF and its cooperators have spent more than $258 million upholding hunting traditions and conserving more than 13.1 million acres of wildlife habitat.
- State Hunting Heritage Super Fund projects include habitat management (e.g. planting wildlife openings), outdoor education for women, youth and people with disabilities, hunter safety, restoration (e.g. trap and transfer of wild turkeys), land acquisition, enforcement, research and equipment.
- State projects are jointly administered by the NWTF, its state chapters and their respective wildlife agencies, assuring funding for projects most likely to enhance the state's long-range natural resource management plans and to promote hunting heritage for the future.
- National Hunting Heritage Super Fund projects include grants to support university and wildlife agency research projects, regional habitat programs and funds for publications that can be used by government and corporate biologists as management reference tools.
